Final Approach
The state of GA thread had a link to this plane-

It got me to thinking, if you put some skids on the wing tips to protect from damage due to ground loops, would a plane like this that is dirt simple and very inexpensive be a good tool to train tail wheel pilots? Perhaps you would need something like this that is tandem seat and not a Part 103 ultralight, but I suppose somehow people learn to fly these things by themselves. Maybe after a few hours of touch and goes in a thing like this you could make an easier transition to a bigger, traditional tail dragger?
Just an idea.
